pointer arrays and array pointers

Pointer Array (array ofpointers): An array of stored pointers

Array pointers (a pointerto an array): pointers to arrays, also known as "row pointers"

array of pointers ( Array of pointers )

　　Example of defining a method: int *a[10] equivalent to int * (A[10])

First, A is an array with 10 elements, each of which is a pointer to an integer data.

[] The priority is higher than *, [] first with a, so that a becomes an array.

Array Pointers ( A pointer to an array )

　　Example of defining a method: Int (*a) [10]

First, A is a pointer variable, and the pointer variable points to the first address of the array.

The () operator has a higher precedence than [], so *a is first operated, stating that A is a pointer variable.
